0. PaStiX- PaStiX is a high performance parallel solver for very large sparse linear systems based on direct methods. It provides also an adaptive blockwise iLU(k) factorization that can be used as a parallel preconditioner.

5. MURGE- MURGE is a common interface to several sparse linear solvers. This projet aims at providing a interface that can be use in numerical simulation to call different solvers without rewriting some code.
&quot;MURGE is close to MERGE&quot;.
